In the spring and summer of 2017 personal files of the Soviet Union Heroes Vladimir Mikhaylovich Mikheyev, Alexander Mitrofanovich Bondarev and Alexander Vasilyevich Novikov were found in archives of Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education (SSUSSE). Their names and feats made during the Great Patriotic War were known. However thanks to the found documents the authors managed to connect them with the pedagogical university for the first time. Established facts were supported by the documents of Samara State Archive of Social and Political History (SSASPH). On November 7, 2017 the memorial plate with images of heroes and dates of their training at the pedagogical university were created and placed on the university building (L. Tolstoy St., 47).

The author of this paper for the first time considers the biography of D.N. Keyser on the basis of materials from the archive of Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, the Central State Archive of the Samara Region and the Samara Regional State Archive of Socio-Political History. D.N. Keysers scientific activity was examined using bibliographic sources stored in the library of Samara State University of Social Sciences and Education, Samara Regional Universal Scientific Library and the Russian State Library. The author also studies the circumstances and consequences of the defense of the first PhD by D.N. Keyser, which made it possible to supplement the idea of the content of political and ideological campaigns of the second half of the 1940s - early 1950s at pedagogical universities. It was possible to find new documents about one of the opponents of her dissertation - Professor of Syzran State Teachers Institute Vladimir Evgenievich Favorsky. In general, the analysis of documents proved the prospect of further archival research aimed at expanding the research field of studying the history of higher historical education in the province and the fate of historians in the post-revolutionary period.

The life and activity of the publicist, journalist and researcher Bohdan Osadchuk is a meaningful example of activities for the inter-civilisation dialogue. He was born in Galicia, which belonged to the Second Polish Republic, and he always treated Polish and Ukrainian cultures as his own. Osadchuk’s efforts to strengthen Polish-Ukrainian relations and understanding, as well as his cooperation with Jerzy Giedroyc, editor-in-chief of the Paris-based journal Kultura [Culture], which was unique in terms of content and influence, were of particular importance. The author of this article has collected and analysed little-known and so far undiscovered facts and previously unavailable archival documents. Bohdan Osadchuk grew up in a multicultural environment. Professing liberal values, he condemned all chauvinism. He managed to combine the identity of a Ukrainian emigrant with that of a European democrat. For seventy years, he lived in Berlin (1941–2011), where he graduated from the university and became recognised as a journalist Alexander Korab. He was known under this pseudonym to readers of German newspapers and the oldest Swiss daily newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung for decades. For over half a century, he wrote for this authoritative newspaper about the events in the Soviet Union, Poland, Ukraine and the countries of the socialist bloc. Moreover, when actively cooperating with German radio and television, he introduced Polish and Ukrainian issues to the media discourse. The communist special services of the People’s Republic of Poland and the Soviet Union hunted Bohdan Osadchuk, watched him and tried to recruit him. But he was playing his own game and was not fooled. This article also describes Osadchuk’s scientific achievements that he gained as a professor at the Free University of Berlin (Freie Universität Berlin) and the Ukrainian Free University in Munich, as well as the author of fundamental publications. Moreover, the circumstances of the last years of Osadchuk’s life, which ended in Poland, are presented for the first time.

In addition to being a theatre director, Vladimir Mirzoev is a novelist, poet, critic, and artist. Born in Moscow in 1957, he enrolled at the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute in 1975, and in 1981 graduated from the Faculty of Directing at the Lunacharsky State Institute for Theatrical Arts in Moscow, where he studied with Mark Mestechkin, a disciple of his teachers Sergei Eisenstein and Vsevolod Meyerhold. Before he emigrated to Toronto, Canada, in May 1989, Mirzoev was known in Russian theatre as an iconoclast and a leading figure of the avant garde. His productions of Voltaire, Pushkin, Gogol, Büchner, Strindberg, Claudel, Weiss, and Howard Barker became renowned for the plasticity of the actors' movement and the use of metaphor to convey meaning, and Russian critics hailed his extraordinary ability to sculpt a unique theatrical language, which blended the ironic and the grotesque. Rita Much interviewed Mirzoev in the autumn of 1991, between the abortive coup and the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The Soviet system for training scientific and pedagogical workers at special postgraduate course was introduced at Lviv State University as a part of its Sovietization. The first group of postgraduates was accepted in the fall–winter of 1940–1941. At that time, four people were taken to postgraduate course of Faculty of History, and two of them (Valentyna Lelyukh and Olexander Kulikov) were enrolled in Department of History of Ukraine. Their official postgraduate courses began on February 1, 1941, and ended on January 31, 1944. Anton Krylenko joined the postgraduates at Department of History of Ukraine in the middle of February, 1941. He was enrolled as a postgraduate student in the second year of study, because he had already studied at postgraduate course in Kyiv. The well-known Ukrainian scientist professor Ivan Krypiakevych was appointed as the official head of these postgraduates at Department of History of Ukraine. As a result of a detailed study of the biographies of these postgraduate students of Lviv University, it was found that they were all from the eastern regions of Ukraine, they only recently had arrived in Lviv and had been the members of the VKP (b) (All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks)). They did not have any more scientific experience, nor any publications, they did not know foreign languages, however, which they were important for the Soviet leadership. This allows to talk about a special selection of postgraduates in the Department of History of Ukraine, especially in comparison with other Departments of the University. Krypiakevych began the work with his postgraduates in late January, 1941. He conducted individual consultations and compiled the lists of necessary literature but at the same time, I. Krypiakevych adapted his work with postgraduates to the official Soviet demands on education. The postgraduate courses at Lviv University were restored after the war. In December, 1945 Nina Tsymbal and Volodymyr Borys were recommended to enroll in the postgraduate study at Department of History of Ukraine. Prof. I.Krypiakevych was again appointed as their scientific tutor. After some time, Borys was moved to postgraduate study at another Department, and only Tsymbal remained under the direction of Krypiakevych. In the next academic year, another graduate of Faculty of History, Vasyl Inkin began his post-graduate course at Department of History of Ukraine. In October, 1947 Olga Omelchuk, which has been a graduate of the Lviv State Pedagogical Institute, became postgraduate too. In November, 1947 Krypiakevych was officially dismissed from the University. After some time, a new supervisor was appointed for these postgraduates.

Статья посвящена истории ежегодного смотра художественной самодеятельности в Калининском государственном университете в первое десятилетие после его преобразования из Калининского государственного педагогического института имени М.И. Калинина в 1971 г. Показано, что серьезные подвижки в характере проведения конкурса, в культурно-массовой работе вуза были начаты еще в институте. Практически не прекращались они на протяжении 1970-х гг. и в университете. Прослеживаются изменения в составе выступающих факультетов, формате проведения смотра, подходе к формированию организационного комитета и жюри конкурса, требованиях и критериях оценки концертов и вечеров и др. Отмечается, что доминирующей в 1970-е гг. была позиция сторонников «профессионализма» в студенческой художественной самодеятельности, но несмотря на предпринимаемые меры, добиться массового систематического занятия студентами художественным творчеством в этот период так и не удалось. The article is devoted to the history of the annual amateur art show at Kalinin State University in the first decade after its transformation from the Kalinin State Pedagogical Institute named after M.I. Kalinin in 1971. It is shown that serious progress in the nature of the competition, in the cultural and mass work of the university was started at the institute. They practically did not stop during the 1970s and at the university. There are changes in the composition of the performing faculties, the format of the review, the approach to the formation of the organizing committee and the jury of the competition, the requirements and criteria for evaluating concerts and evenings, etc. It is noted that the dominant position in the 70s was the position of supporters of «professionalism» in student amateur art. Despite the measures taken, it was not possible to achieve a mass systematic occupation of students with artistic creativity during this period. The article is written on the basis of the materials of the largecirculation newspaper KSPI (KSU) «Kalininets», as well as the memoirs of TvSU teachers.
